Decision on Taking Business in Private

Welcome to the 12th meeting this year of the European and External Relations Committee. We have apologies from Ted Brocklebank, Jamie Hepburn and Jim Hume. I am pleased to welcome Gil Paterson, who is the Scottish National Party's substitute for Jamie Hepburn.

Under item 1 on the agenda, I seek the committee's agreement to take items 5 and 6 in private. Item 5 is a discussion of the responses that we have received to our financial crisis report, and item 6 involves consideration of our approach to the Lisbon treaty inquiry. Do we agree to take those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.
